Sohaila Ali, M.D., named Carroll Hospital's August Physician of the Month

Sohaila Ali, M.D., vascular and thoracic surgery, was recently named Carroll Hospital's August Physician of the Month. A physician affiliated with Carroll Hospital for 23 years, Dr. Ali was recognized by the family member of a patient for her compassionate care and exceptional surgical skills.

"Dr. Ali is a phenomenal physician whose calm demeanor and compassion makes an enormous impact on her patients and their family during an anxious time. It's one thing to simply say everything will be okay, but her reassurance is backed by her expertise, a stellar reputation and years of experience," said Mark Olszyk, M.D., vice president of medical affairs and chief medical officer at Carroll Hospital.

Each month, Carroll Hospital recognizes the extraordinary patient care achievements of physicians, as well as physician assistants, nurse practitioners and certified nurse anesthetists, with a program called Practitioner/Physician WOW Service Awards. From those who are nominated to receive these awards each month, one Physician or Provider of the Month is chosen. And, from a year's worth of Physician or Provider of the Month winners, one Physician of the Year and one Advanced Practice Provider of the Year is selected.

Community members and hospital associates are encouraged to nominate a medical professional who has demonstrated a special dedication and devotion to patients in a variety of ways.
